Have to say that the announcement alert/popup on the automatic v1.4.14 firmware install froze my console overnight and needed a R-reset to clear. The firmware had apparently downloaded and installed OK, but I suspect that the alert somehow blocked return to normal operation. Maybe it's just my console?
Mine did the same thing, so what I had to do is turn the unit to the back. There are 3 tiny holes, the second is (if you can see the letter) "R"; I had to take a paper clip, insert it until i felt it click. then reconnect the power, hang it back on the wall and wait for it to reset it self. Now I am fine. for me I have had to do this all the time when there is an update
R button reset: Careful examination of the back of the console above the position of the USB power socket will reveal 3 pinholes labelled P, R and U. (These are more easily seen if the stand is temporarily removed and, if necessary, using the magnifier app and light on most mobile phones.) The R pinhole will actually trigger a reset/reboot if eg the end of a paperclip is pushed into the hole. A simple single press/click of the button seems to be all that is needed. Note that it will take a couple of minute for the reboot process to complete fully and for all readings to be restored. Be patient!
This is not currently documented by Davis and is subject to further clarification – use only when necessary, though it does appear to work cleanly and easily. This function seems simply to restart the console app and no settings are lost, though it may take a few minutes for a new value of some data values like a 10-minute mean wind speed to be calculated. The purpose of the P and U pinholes is currently unknown (though maybe they stand for Program and Update).
Factory reset There is an interface button on the Device Information screen to perform a Factory Reset. Use this option ONLY if you really intend to:
!
Pressing the Factory Reset button will clear all of the console memory and you will lose all of your settings and stored data. It should only be used if for example you are selling your 6313 console and deliberately want to erase all of your settings and data, or if directed to do so by Davis support. Note also that it is reported that using Factory Reset returns the firmware to whatever version was installed during initial manufacture. An update will therefore then be needed to whatever the latest available firmware version might be.
